He just played basketball and became the chosen one.

Chapter 79: New freedom to add points to unlock? Brother is here to take you flying~

Theron stepped straight into the tub wearing black ripped socks.

She raised her toes and rubbed Ryan's chest a few times.

Seeing that Ryan didn't respond, he leaned down and took the newspaper in Ryan's hand with his lips:

"Honey, stop watching the basketball news. You should relax."

Ryan hugged Theron, who was honest about herself, wearing only a pair of ripped socks.

But his attention was still not on the Oscar-winning actress. Instead, he looked out the window and sighed:

"Vandeweghe is dismissed."

"What?"

"Kiki Vandeweghe, fired. Tomorrow, the newspapers will be full of this news."

Theron climbed up from Ryan, a little surprised.

Because of their relationship with Ryan, Theron and Vandeweghe knew each other and had dinner together several times.

In her opinion, the former Nuggets star is a very good person and takes good care of Ryan.

Moreover, his relationship with team owner Stan Kroenke seems to be good.

This dismissal did come too suddenly.

Ryan looked at Theron and shrugged: "This is competitive sports. After all, we lost to the same opponent for the second consecutive year!"

It is now the summer of 2005.

Ryan just finished the second season of his career.

This season, with almost no changes in the team's lineup, Ryan led the team to 57 wins and entered the playoffs as third in the Western Conference.

In the first round, the Nuggets once again easily defeated the Kings, who no longer had Webber. However, in the second round, they met the Spurs, and it was almost the same story. They lost to their opponents with a total score of 2 to 4.

This is the reason why Kiki Vandeweghe dismissed get out of class, not only because the Nuggets fell to the Spurs twice in a row, but because the two losses were almost exactly the same, because the Nuggets' lineup has not changed!

Last summer, Vandeweghe failed in signings one after another.

First of all, he missed O'Neal in the bidding and watched the sharks swim eastward.

Well, Vandeweghe has a reason to say that the Lakers are just unwilling to trade the Sharks with the Western Conference teams, and the Heat do have better chips.

But then they actually lost to the Phoenix Suns when recruiting Nash despite having ample salary space. This is a bit unreasonable.

High-quality role players, such as Boozer and Xiao Mo, were all taken advantage of by others.

Every time the Nuggets express interest in a certain player, that player is then snatched away by other teams.

It's a team that Denver is interested in!

Vandeweghe's only achievement last summer was to retain the Nuggets' original lineup and not lose the Nuggets' main lineup.

But obviously, this result cannot satisfy Stan Kroenke.

The whole world knows that Ryan is a player destined for greatness, and every minute and second with him is extremely precious.

It was imperative to build a championship team around Ryan, but you didn't make any money all summer long.

Therefore, Stan Kroenke was already looking for a new general manager candidate.

When the Nuggets lost to the Spurs for the second consecutive time in the playoffs, Stan Kroenke cut the knot quickly and fired Vandeweghe.

There was no way he was going to waste another summer.

If the Nuggets can't break through now, it will be delaying him from making money.

And anything that delays him from making money must be removed!

Theron looked at Ryan's disappointed look and leaned against Ryan again:

"Don't get discouraged, you are still one of the best players currently playing.

That guy named LeBron was clamoring to be guaranteed a playoff spot before the season, but he didn’t make it to the playoffs this year! "

"Pfft!" Hearing this, Ryan almost couldn't hold back his laughter and laughed. As expected, the big sister can comfort people!

As soon as he heard Ajan's story, Ryan, who was originally depressed, suddenly became happy.

That's right, the little emperor who was so hyped, the guy who was destined to ignite Cleveland, the No. 23 who said before the season that "the playoffs are just a guaranteed goal."

Let everyone go for the second consecutive year!

This year, Ajan's personal data is still very good, averaging 27.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 2.2 steals per game. The fifth man in NBA history to average 27+7+7 per game.

To be honest, this is the first time Jordan discovered that there are such technical statistics. However, back then I was clearly at 32.5+8+8, so why did I have to start from 27+7+7?

It seems as if James' data is very close to mine.

There's no way around it. In order to restore the decline after last season, Nike started crazily this season.

In fact, James was quite successful this season. He produced a triple-double, became an All-Star starter, and even scored 50+ points in a single game that even Ryan did not have.

Just when Nike thought that James was going to take off completely and that they were finally going to overtake Reebok, the phrase "James and Ryan are unpredictable" from "Sports Illustrated" came true again.

At the end of the season, Ajan suddenly went 11-19, causing the Cavaliers to miss the playoffs again.

Nike is so stupid. In your rookie year last season, Ricky Davis "tricked" you in the first half of the season, so forget it if you can't make the playoffs.

However, this season has been a turbulent one, so why did the crotch stretch again at the critical moment?

James' heart is simply more complicated than that of a woman. You never know whether he will surprise or frighten you in the next second!

Ajan's "guaranteed playoff" boomerang hit him right between the eyes again.

But fans of Ajan also have reasons to say, what team did we play in the first half of the season? The main thing is to beat those rotten shrimps in the Eastern Conference. Bah, most of them are elite teams.

In the second half, Nima kept meeting the Western Conference teams. Can my Zhanzhan’s teammates beat them? You can't fight, you don't have the ability, you know!

What? Can't even make the playoffs with Big Z as an All-Star teammate? What All-Stars? Don't talk nonsense!

As we all know, no one wants a semi-disabled player like Big Z who averages 17+8+2 blocks per game in the CBA!

How is my Zhanzhan like Ryan? He has Brazilian center Nene.

Don’t you have any idea how strong the Brazilian center is? Ronaldo played center back then! And Nene is the best Brazilian center after Ronaldo!

In addition, Ryan also has Miller, the first point guard who looks like a female star in history.

What's even more outrageous is that there is the record-breaking top scorer Skodishvili, who waved the towel 41 times and shouted 28 times per game!

If I, Ajan, have a lineup like Ryan, we will go straight to 60 wins!

Of course, no matter how the Kacun fans frantically whitewash the situation on the Internet, it is an indisputable fact that Ajan failed this season.

However, Ajan is not without success, at least he is the winner of this year's "Most Fun Person Award".

He was so happy that Theron mentioned it casually, and Ryan couldn't help but laugh.

Theron smiled when he saw Ryan, and immediately wrapped his legs in jeans around Ryan's waist:

"So don't think so much. Your current achievements are already beyond the reach of others.

Tonight, let’s relax not once, not twice, not three times.”

It does take some effort to pamper a 30-year-old girlfriend

When Theron woke up the next day, she closed her eyes and rolled over to hug Ryan.

But it only held a ball of air.

When she opened her eyes, she was alone on the huge bed.

Theron shook his head, Ryan must be training again!

Last night, Theron felt like she was about to faint from ecstasy. The confrontation was so fierce, but Ryan could still get up so early!

There was no other way. Losing to the Spurs for the second consecutive time made Ryan feel uncomfortable.

Popovich's disgusting face also made Ryan very unhappy.

After this year's series with the Spurs, Popovich deliberately yin and yang:

"The media and fans in this day and age always love to worship.

I've met a lot of so-called super talents who are always blown away by the media and fans.

But what about the end? There are very few who can really win.

Some lose to the same opponent two years in a row.

Some simply failed to make the playoffs for two consecutive years.

It's not that whoever gets more attention is the real strong one. "

Popovich's wave of yin and yang made Ryan want to slap him in the mouth.

Why don't you just rely on Duncan, a super genius, to say something nonsense?

Oh I'm sorry, you don't just rely on being super talented, you also rely on being dirty!

Popovich's words also made Ryan eager to climb over the Spurs mountain and smash the old man's face!

Therefore, even though he exercised vigorously until midnight yesterday, Ryan still got up early and started training today.

Of course, the reason Ryan is so diligent is because he finally has a way to unlock other attributes and freely add point restrictions!

As we all know, Ryan can only add some physical and shooting attributes freely now.

For attributes such as ball control, finishing and defense, Ryan can only increase by acquiring the "traits" of others.

But trait rewards are rare after all. Without reward tasks, Ryan can only get two trait rewards in one offseason.

Therefore, Ryan's passing, finishing and defensive attributes accumulate very slowly.

During the offseason last season, Ryan once again invited Anthony, Harris and others to train with him.

Another characteristic of Anthony, "post-up mid-range master", is that Ryan added 3 points of post-up attack, 3 points of mid-range shooting and 2 points of strength.

Harris' "high-speed breakthrough" gives Ryan +3 speed, +2 passing, and +2 layup feel.

Ryan's strengths continue to get stronger, his mid-range shooting has reached 98, and his speed and strength have also reached 98 and 97 respectively!

However, Ryan's passing and control ability, which he urgently needs to improve, has not been greatly enhanced.

For the skill points he obtained after upgrading in September last year, due to the limitation of the free point-adding range, Ryan could only use the 8 skill points he drew to add to the three points instead of the passing and control ability.

Although adding three-pointers to 64 lays the foundation for developing shooting range.

But when facing the Spurs, Ryan, who lacked the ability to pass and control, still couldn't perform enough to break the game.

At this time, Ryan was selected to the best second team after averaging 27.4 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.8 blocks per game.

The system finally gives a reward task that unlocks the ability to freely add points in other categories!

"Mission: Every drop of sweat is rewarded, and you can hit the first team!

Goal: Practice an attribute that has not been unlocked to add free points to 60 by yourself, and then you can obtain the permission to add free points for that type of attribute.

Time limit: 2005 offseason. "

After Ryan got this task, he opened the attribute interface and took a look. His passing attributes were already 59.

In other words, it only needs to increase a little more to gain the freedom to add points to the transmission and control attributes!

Damn it, isn’t it a huge bargain?

Although it will take a long time to improve your attributes if you practice by yourself, it was enough in the 2005 offseason!

Therefore, Ryan still got up early to train today after working hard last night.

He doesn't want to waste a minute now!

If he can practice passing, Ryan will no longer encounter "difficulty in passing the ball" when facing the Spurs' double-team.

After arriving at the private training hall, Ryan's exclusive trainer "Mr. Q" Bruce Fraser was already waiting.

He is the man behind the scenes who will help Nash and Curry win MVPs in the future.

In this history, Mr. Q became Ryan's personal trainer because of Ryan's unlimited potential, his character worthy of recognition, and his strong financial ability.

Frazier said that he still needed to prepare some training equipment, so he threw a few newspapers to Ryan and asked him to take a rest first.

Ryan sat next to the training ground and read today's newspaper:

"The first grade has three formations and one defense, the second grade has two formations and one defense, and the third grade will have two formations? How terrifying is Ryan's potential!?"

"DPOY's vote rate is only 7% lower than Ben! How far is Ryan from the first DPOY?"

“Will the San Antonio Spurs become Ryan’s ‘Detroit Pistons’?”

Seeing the last title, Ryan clenched his fists again.

The Pistons have blocked Jordan three times in history, and the Spurs have blocked Ryan twice now.

Ryan doesn't want to experience the pain of being defeated by the Spurs again!

This summer, he worked hard to practice passing!

First unlock the permission to add points freely, and then invite a few stars with strong passing ability to train together to get their trait rewards.

In this way, Ryan will no longer be afraid of the Spurs' double attack when he plays pick-and-roll next season!

Ryan is disgusted by Popovich's face!

While Ryan was seizing the time to become stronger, Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke was also seizing the time to find a new general manager candidate.

And, you have to move quickly.

Because if it’s not fast enough, no one will be responsible for the next draft!

Although Kroenke is the king of soft rice and hard food, he does not only eat soft rice. If the business can be so big, he is not a fool.

The reason why he decisively fired Kiki Vandeweghe was that he must have found a replacement in advance.

Rich men generally don't hang themselves from a tree.

His original backup candidate was Mark Warkentin, who indeed helped the Nuggets reach glory in the original history.

It was he who brought AI and Billups to Denver.

But the appearance of one person made him temporarily shelve the signing with Warkentin.

Today, Stan Kroenke is about to contact this person!

He believes that only a great general manager can help Ryan achieve greatness!

At noon, Kroenke personally went to the airport to pick him up.

He first showed the general manager candidate around Denver and then took him out for a nice meal.

Finally, in the evening, I talked to this person about cooperation in the conference room of the luxury hotel.

To be honest, looking at the whole league, except for the logo man, there may not be any general manager who can have such an appearance.

This is simply the standard for receiving active super giants!

In front of Stan Kroenke, the fat middle-aged white man lit a cigar:

“Actually, I’m quite familiar with Denver.

I've won countless games here before. "

Kroenke:

“I do appreciate you guys now, though. After all, you have that guy who saw my taillights in the ‘Young and Famous’ thing.

Although I didn’t have the second team and one defense before I was in the second grade, when I was in the second grade, I already had two teams and one championship.

The harm is actually not worth mentioning, as long as you have the skills~"

Kroenke:

It's obviously you who keeps mentioning it!

After pretending to be happy, the man took the cigar away from his mouth and his expression became serious:

"To be honest, I'm quite interested in cooperating with you.

However, I can only work for three years at most. After three years, no matter what my results are, I will definitely leave.

Second, I only use my designated head coach.

Finally, I am a troublesome person now. Have you really thought clearly about inviting me? "

Stan Kroenke looked at the legend in front of him and clenched his fists:

"I just want Ryan to win! Everything else doesn't matter! And you, Larry, you know best how to help a genius achieve his goal!"

Larry Bird is the only man in NBA history who can win MVP, FMVP, Coach of the Year and General Manager of the Year!

He really won all the honors in the basketball world with a Grand Slam!

Whether he is a player, coach or manager, he can do his best!

But in 2004, Bird caused huge controversy because of an offhand remark.

In an ESPN show at the time, Bird said:

"When I was playing, there were many white stars such as Kevin McHale and I. I think this was a good thing for the fans. Because we all know that NBA fans are mainly white people, and they want to see some white players in the game. That game.

But now the NBA is entirely a sport for black players, and nothing will change! "

Just because this sentence was related to skin color, Bird was criticized by thousands of people. In the end, the Pacers were forced to temporarily fire Bird under pressure.

Of course, both parties have agreed to let Big Bird come back after the limelight has passed in a few years.

While Bird was idle at home, Stan Kroenke came to the door!

In the original history, Kroenke would not have thought of hiring Bird as general manager.

Because the Nuggets were still a long way from the championship at the time, there was no need for Kroenke to risk hiring a controversial figure.

But now, the situation is different.

The Nuggets have lost to the Spurs for two consecutive years. Last year, the Spurs lost to the Pistons in the Finals. This year, the Spurs directly avenged the Pistons and won the championship.

In other words, the Nuggets lost to a championship-level team.

As long as they can overcome the Spurs' hurdle, it means that the Nuggets are also qualified to compete for the championship!

Kiki Vandeweghe cannot lead the team over this hurdle, then Kroenke will find someone with experience and ability!

This is how the big beeping bird entered Kroenke's field of vision.

Hiring Bird as general manager at this time will definitely cause controversy.

But compared with the championship and the huge commercial value brought by the championship, what is a little controversy?

If you don’t have the guts, where will the production come from?

Stan Kroenke is a businessman who makes money from sports. At present, the development of the Nuggets "company" has encountered a bottleneck. Only winning the championship can break through this bottleneck.

Then, nothing else matters!

Just work for three years, just work for three years! You, the head coach, have the final say! There is controversy!

Kroenke nodded affirmatively: "We are sure, Larry! You are the most suitable candidate!"

Half an hour later, Ryan was lying on the wooden floor of the arena sweating profusely.

A whole day of training made him exhausted.

But when I think of the words "Will the San Antonio Spurs become Ryan's Detroit Pistons?" Ryan is full of motivation!

Damn it, are you being pressured by a cheap old man like Popovich all the time? Just thinking about it makes me fucking sick!

At this time, Ryan heard the door to the training ground being opened.

But Ryan didn't pay much attention, thinking that some trainers who were off duty had left the gym.

But more than ten seconds later, Ryan, who was lying on the ground, saw a figure that completely stunned him.

Larry Bird walked into Ryan's field of vision and stretched out his hand:

"Get up, kid, no matter how hard you try, you can't catch up with me.

But...you still have a chance to kill this bunch of trash.

The premise is that you have to stay healthy. If you get injured on the training ground, then just ask for help.

Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.

Larry Bird, starting from the 2005-06 season, serves as the general manager of the Denver Nuggets! "

After speaking, Bird blinked:

"Brother is here to take you flying~"

Thanks to the big guys for boiling the kettle to make tea, giving the first kiss to Yan Yanyan, etc. Thank you all!
